HEADS UP: Bushflash.com will be shut down, within 30 days.
Edited on Fri Jun-30-06 08:44 AM by Ioo
I DO NOT OWN THIS SITE, I AM PASSING ON THE MESSAGE I FOUND ON IT

JUNE 29 , 2006
GOOD NIGHT, AND GOOD LUCK...

Bushflash.com will be shut down, within 30 days.

I'd like to think it can continue, but really- I can no longer spend the time required to keep this site live, with only my two hands, and one keyboard.

Bushflash is a quaint fossil- and after three years of hammering out everything I have to present to the american and worldwide public, I'm flat broke, and owe the IRS about 6 thousand bucks.

Such is life- excelsior, and dammit, we had a good run, while the times were darkest. When I started this site, there were but a handful of sites that dared to take this administration to task. Now, there are thousands, and I love every last one of them...

I'm an unemployed guy in New Jersey, and I reached an audience of millions...

I want each and every one of you to do the same....

1. I've always thought that this battle will be won through a series of
personal and isolated sacrifices. Whistleblowers who sacrifice their livelihood and reputation, bloggers and community activist who sacrifice financial stability. Unsung heros.

So, I say to you, thank you for your commitment and your contribution to the effort, and I hope that somehow you'll be rewarded in the future.

Are you sure this is true? Seems like there would be something on BuzzFlash about it.

6. Buzzflash is an entirely different site from Bushflash.
As far as I know, Buzzflash is not going away any time soon.

flash animations on Democracy Now and FreeSpeechTv alot, that is how I found his site. Some of the best flashes around.

12. If Buzzflash was a wingnut site, the money would be rolling in.
I even suspect that the GOP secretly underwrites certain sites -- such as freep repubic -- because they understand how effective they can be.

I wish Soros et al. would spread some money around to sites like Buzzflash and Media Matters and Bartcop and DU and Kos, etc., etc. As we all know too well, websites like them give us our only influence in political debate.

Buzzflash is a terrific site, one of the best. If it shuts down, we've lost one of our best warriors in the fight against fascism.

We need a better plan.
